Would you?...

Post by justrfb »

Hello All.
Good morning. All this fixin' and modifying John and others are doing here has inspired me! I am looking at a Taylor that has a hole in the top. I am just getting a feel if this is something worth trying. It will cost some money and time, obviously... And I still have our son Mark's Blues Creek kit to finish. Here is a picture. The person says only the top is broken. I asked for better pictures and if they still have the broken pieces. It is a Taylor 210. What do you think?

Sincerely,
Rich

If you are looking at it for the experience it looks like a good project.
You never know what you are capable of until you actually try....

I agree
at the right price the experience would be well worth the effort.

If you want to hide the repair , this is the perfect opportunity for a sun burst

Thanks Guys for your encouragement but the "seller" has not answered any of my email inquires so I am going to let this one pass on by and not send anymore email. Two or three emails tops and then I figure they either sold it or not motivated to sell it to me. Besides, like I said, I need to finish up Mark's "Blues Creek Guitars" kit... Thank you!

Sincerely,
Rich
